The city is being shaken by many heart-stopping crimes taking place at different places. Young women are being molested and killed with alarming frequency. Velu ([[Kreshna]]) helps his father Subramaniam ([[Prakash Raj]]) in stealing. Being seasoned thieves, they rob everything right from pins to cars. A spate of young women are murdered, and these developments rock the city. Thiagarajan ([[Azhagam Perumal]]), a tough cop, investigates the case. However, differences of opinions crop between the Police Commissioner ([[Biju Menon]]) and Thiagarajan. One day, Velu saves the commissioner from a meeting in order to steal the commissioner car's audio player, and gets acquainted with him. Velu then begins to fall for Janani (Janani), who works in a bank. One day, when Velu withdraws money, he is shocked to find the balance amount to be Rs. 5 Lakhs. It suddenly swells to Rs. 30 Lakhs and reaches Rs. 70 Lakhs. That is when Subramaniam realizes that this is no mere coincidence. Someone was smartly using them as a pawn to cover up for other more serious activities. They were being used as the 'third man', a pretty common term in criminal parlance. Before they realize, all of them are caught in the web that was laid out. Who laid it out, how and why and do they eventually come out of it forms Alibaba. Subramaniam comes to Velu's rescue and manages to find the reason behind it.
